You wouldn't think socks could really be that important to warrant spending 24 bucks but I will tell that  after years of use my Mysterioso TS socks owe me nothing.  This fabric has a 4-way stretch that won't restrict movement, and provides maximum comfort with its soft, velour-finish fleece interior. The flatlock stitching prevents chafing, while the durable outer layer is wind and abrasion resistant; the inner layer pulls moisture from the skin and keeps you dry whether you sweat or are wet. $24

Not exactly the time of year that we think about stuff to help us cool off but soon enough we'll complaining about the heat. If you want to stay cool on the water the Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad Towel is a great way to do so. Frogg Togg Chilly Pad is an innovative way to keep cool during a kayak, hard ride, tough climb or any other strenuous activity. When wet, the towel becomes considerably cooler than the outside air, thereby providing cooling relief to the user. When it stops cooling, simply re-wet the towel and wring it out. $14.99

Here’s another couple stocking stuffers that you can almost bet everything you own that your recipient doesn’t have. Both seem really cool and I look forward to using them this spring. The DualFin is functions like a planer board and the BulletBobber is a directional bobber. What that means is you can control where your offering goes. It works on both live and artificials and in current and still waters. It’s a very neat item for the angler who thinks they have everything. www.DualFin.com, www.BulletBobber.com
